Tethering Issues - EVO 4G General

Hey guys, got another question for you helpful people.
I'm running CM7 and using the Tiamat kernel. I was using the tethering app from the market, Wireless Tether and now (I recently went to CM7) the tethering app will not work. I really need this app to work. Will someone please help?
I really appreciate all of you guys helping me out.

CM7 has wireless tethering built in. The wireless tether app from the market won't work. I don't remember exactly where it is in the settings, but I believe it's just under Wireless&Networks.

Point us to an APK that does it...?
Exectly, it doesn't exist for the Vibrant yet.
Though, the OP could've searched and found that there is work going on, but it doesn't work 100% yet.

Yes. It works. Search the development thread. There is a topic in there specifically regarding this application.

Wireless Tether for root users v2.0.5 pre7 works perfectly fine on the Vibrant. You BOTH "could've" searched.
Initially my post was about porting the stock wifi tethering on the i9000 if it was possible or not.

Works perfectly fine for some. I've had no luck with that. However, I have had some luck with barnacle.

Barnacle was working for me, but didn't like how I had to adjust the mtu on the pc I was using, like to just use it on anyone's stock mtu settings in windows. I'm using Wireless Tether for root users v2.0.5 pre7 now and it's working great. Much faster at accepting my connection and doesn't seem to stall out on big file transfers either.
Wireless Tether for root users v2.0.5 pre8 works great on my vibrant

Easy WiFi Tether

The Best way to tether I found is to sideload BARNACLE...never a problem works great.
Barnacle can be downloaded from Marketplce

i cant seem to find it
EDIT:
found it on 4shared here's the link for those who want it

mods please delete this if it's against forum rules. It's a free app so I don't think it should be an issue since there's no piracy involved.
Shouldnt this thread be in General?

If it's obtaining an IP address, it should be connected. How long are you giving it to connect completely?

how do i change it to infrastructure???
In the wireless tether app from the market, there isn't a way to change between infrastructure and ad hoc. The evo is supposed to be one of the few phones that does infra. Maybe it is the rom? I dunno.

FREE USB, WiFi, Bluetooth Tethering

I know someone probably has posted this already but over an hour looking for a suitable solution without installing some app on my phone and computer...
I was running CleanG3 on my Epic and the USB and WiFi tethering worked fine but got sick of the update notification to FC09, so I resetup my phone with Android 4.0.4 ICS and CyanogenMod 9 B3. Normally I would simply ask on that thread but my account limitations says I can't...
I want to use the built in USB or WiFi tethering but it has to be "unlocked" first because I'm not paying Spring $40/mo to use my own unlimited data. Even the Bluetooth tethering would be cool, but really I only need one of them to work and prefer USB.
Anyone know of something I can flash or what ever to get rid of the sprint checks so it works?
Thanks in advance!

If your on cm9 your good to go... you can use the built in tethering...
Settings>more>tethering and you are good to go.

I was trying that... Found the issue though.
In order for USB Tethering to work you have to disable USB Debugging. I don't really know why my original test of WiFi tethering didn't work, but after disabling debugging that seems to work now too. Still haven't tested the BT Tether, but I have a feeling maybe that works too.
Thanks for the assistance!

FoxFi is working fine on stock no root required.
Sprint is blocking it in the Market, but you can download apk directly from their web site.

Im having a similar issue. Im rooted with the stock Rom. I dont have a custom rom nor do i really want one for the fact that im still new to all this and i probably wouldnt know how to.
My issue is that i cannot wifi tether my phone to my laptop. I have the app WiFi Tether. I enabled access. I have checked usb debugging. But for some reason my laptop does not read that my phone is a wireless router... I have also tried physically usb connecting it but it wont work that way either. Anyones help would be appreciated.

Try foxfi which was posted right above your post... just tried it and it worked great for me... could be a problem with it not broadcasting in infrastructure, but in ad hoc... some cpus don't connect to ad hoc networks... foxfi should broadcast infrastructure...
Thanks!!! ^^^ It worked great! I hope it lasts!

Trying to figure out the problem with my internet connection so i figured id revive this thread. I downloaded foxfi with no issues and it worked great up until this morning... I have a feeling it is because of the new system update but not sure. I notice that when foxfi is running now it no longer activates sprint hotspot like it used to. Any suggestions or someone know anything? Thanks in advance.

Well, this is still the Epic 4G forum, regardless of what phone you have...
We just tend to assume that accidental strays into this forum are Touch owners, because that phone does at least have "Epic" in the name...

That explains why I forgot that the Touch is the GS2... as soon as I learned that the Epic Touch lacked the hw keyboard, I tuned it out
I think I've been elligible for my upgrade for at least a month or three, but I'm seriously considering sticking with my OG Epic until it dies - hopefully a worthy replacement will come out by then...

Tethering
okay, so there is no charge from sprint for this then, correct? or is there?? i dont want to be surprised when my bill comes!
Im running CM9.
No. They cannot add the fee unless you request adding the plan and agree to terms and conditions. However they can cancel you altogether for excessive data use under TOS. It is hard to prove you are using your phone as a modem without a tethering plan so they cancel you for excessive data use. Reading between the lines means don't be a data hog.

I'm almost positive the stock att ROM & Wicked ROM had Bluetooth tethering.. I'm running FoxHound ROM now and it definitely has BT tethering I just checked it

I'm stock now, and there is no Bluetooth tethering.
Any chance you can test it fox hound? So Roms do show the settings but in fact doesn't function.
Trying to their nexes 7 to sgs4.
If you could tether and open a webpage as test that would be great help.
Thanks
